Hello— Thank you all the useful comments. I believe that these tips can really help me with my further career. Even as this list's purpose is not to ask personal advice, I am happy that I did ask here. Strangly, I could not get this insight by talking about it with collegues, friends and family

good practices in science

2020-04-03 Thread Marco van Hulten
Hi all— Are there any natural scientists here? I'm asking because at least in my field not the right tools are used to do the work; I'd like to exchange ideas on how to approach these issues. I am sending this to this list because Guix is an obvious tool for scientific (and other) computing. No

2020-03-25 Thread Marco van Hulten
Hello— In a relatively clean profile, Chromium (ungoogled-chromium@80.0.3987.132-0.7e68f18) was crashing. By trial-and-error, I found out that the crash does not occur when font-liberation is installed. Therefore, I propose to add font-liberation as a dependency to ungoogled-chromium. —Marco

--rollback does not always roll back generation

Hello— guix package --rollback usually rolls back from generation N to N-1 (for any integer N > 0), but this didn't happen when I did this (I wanted the last generation not to be overwritten—that part worked): $ guix package --switch-generation=1 switched from generation 2 to 1 $ mv g
